John Cunningham is a psychiatrist specializing in past-life therapy. Jack Cannon is his alter ego, a horror novelist who has kept his identity a secret from both his patients and the public. John has been able to keep his identities separate until he discovers his most fascinating patient.

Now, drawing on the past life of Tony Smith, John has written a story that creates the ultimate in terror, in which a little boy gives birth to a worm as the result of a sexual exploit.
